Mr. Iain Francis Tulley

Iain Tulley has been a Chief Executive in the field of mental health for the last 20 years, running one of the largest mental health organizations in the United Kingdom, before coming to Qatar in 2016 as Chief Executive Officer of the Mental Health Service in Hamad Medical Corporation. Qatar has seen some significant developments in mental health in recent years and is featured as one of seven population priorities in Qatar’s second National Health Strategy. Iain held the position of National Lead for this priority and his focus over the last few years has been to improve access, reduce stigma and integrate physical and mental health care. During his time in this post, Qatar has made significant progress in Mental Health & Addiction Treatment, in partnerships and in increasing public awareness about Mental Health & Wellbeing. Iain described the inclusion of Mental Health and Substance Use in the recently published National Health Strategy 3 as “very encouraging”, this will ensure that foundations laid can be built upon to enhance the mental health & wellbeing of the populations across Qatar.
